The Securities Act of 1933 requires corporations to file registration statements with the SEC when issuing new securities to the public, in order to provide investors with accurate and complete information about the securities being offered. This helps to prevent fraudulent or misleading practices in the securities markets. Option A is incorrect because the Securities Act does not require all corporations to register with the federal government; instead, it only pertains to securities offerings made to the public. Option B is also incorrect because the Securities Act does not regulate state-level registration of corporations. Option C is partially correct, as the Act does require registration statements for reselling prior issues to the public, but this is not the primary focus of the Act.
